Re: NSR: Video of Air France A380 clipping Comair Regional

I'm just one of those regular schmucks who cannot think of paying $4500 for business class R/T NY to Europe. We NYC schoolteachers don't have expense accounts for this. A friend of mine recently flew Emirates First class to Dubai. I cannot imagine paying $13,000 for a R/T ticket. I was told First c...

Re: B team got lost off the back today

I've never seen any KMS freestyle cutting lines. Not sure about racers as I don't know what they look like. Every single one of them was cutting the line at needles when they had a comp over there earlier this season. I highly doubt they were that pressed for time to get back up for their next run....

Re: B team got lost off the back today

It's not some big secret that if you head into the trees off of skier's right off of juggernaut you very well may end up down in the valley between Killington and Mendon peak. It is rather unfortunate that a coach watching over a bunch of children would not think for himself (the adult) and say &quo...

Re: rental boots...

On my second run last Sunday I broke the top buckle on my Salomon Ghost boots, and of course none of the Killington area Salomon dealers had a replacement in stock. I luckily have a friend in the industry that was having one shipped to me ASAP, however with the bad weather who knows if fedex/ups wi...

Re: Opinions on RFID?

Steven's Pass out in Washington uses RFID and it was great when I was there for a sick powder day last April. Just ski up with the pass in your pocket, the machine senses it and right through to the lift. It was a midweek day and the place was empty despite the 2ft of freshness... so no idea how wel...

Re: Rock Skis or New Skis this weekend...

I started out yesterday morning on my new obsetheds then switched to my older skis around noon. A few grassy spots opened up in the afternoon in the bump lines, but overall the cover was fine I would say. Who knows how the weather event later this week will alter the coverage however...

Re: Jet were flatlining

What we're finding out this morning is the fake punt was Weathefords call. Apparently he's got carte blanche to call that play himself whenever he wants since he's a pretty good athlete. Additionally he wasn't aware it was 4th and 19 he thought it was 4th and 9. Wondering why nobody else in the hud...
